I thought I read somewhere that Samsung was releasing the fix in stages...that it would be an update every month until it was completely patched...not sure if it was all Sammy devices or just the Sprint one where I read this.
You trust that app smh
Why would he not trust the app? Wasnt there a stagefright 2.0 vulnerability detected and not yet patched?

Software update? Not disabled?

One of the very first things I did was install Package Disabler Pro and disabled everything sprint and software update.
Woke up today to a nice notification about a software update. Did I miss something?
I believe it was a security update.

Does Battery monitoring apps like BBS break Android Pay?

Hi,
Lately my battery has been a lot worse on my 6P and I mean to install an app to try to figure out the cause, but most of them require to be installed as system app.
I use android pay daily, and I'm on stock rooted (systemless).
Would installing one of those apps as system app break android pay?
Thank you very much!
I have BBS installed but not as a system app and it seems to work fine. My device passes the safetynet check but I rarely have the opportunity to use Android Pay. I've actually only been to one place that accepted AP but it worked there with no issue a couple months ago.

I'm running unrooted with the gsam root companion app in system-priv (installed via twrp), and am able to use Android pay. I'm currently using N preview 4, but pretty sure this worked on M as well.

I'm asking because I always used adaway on my rooted note 4. When I updated to marshmallow the old version of adaway I had been using for years wouldn't run. I tried adguard and it blocked that too. I'm not rooting my edge so the adaway that works on rooted marshmallow is useless. I don't want to update and be agreivated by ads.
Mine works fine

Mine works fine. Although google blocked SSL filtering with user certificates for apps outside of the browser which sucks.

Daydream is available with latest firmware update.

Daydream is working for me on my s8 plus with AQ5 update.
But it is kinds glitchy.
Maybe it's the rom I'm using but i don't know.
Any one tried it yet.

It wasn't available after the AQ5 update...they just made it available within the last week or so...and you have to download the corresponding apps off of Google Play for it to work..
